Checking google play store. Either a) featured indie games, b) recommended apps similar to the installed or c) similar apps to the game "Polytopia" (really good one - like the small brother of civilization). Unfortunately I don't know it anymore.

I would have searched it if I would have known it was there. But I had no clue.

I was searching a new strategical game and as i play some anticiped access game before the search, google play proposed it to me. I show it to my father who plays it to now and he shows it to a colleague who begins few days ago.

My best friend told me about GLADIABOTS. He heard it from a colleague at work. Although I played not a single PC-game since a very long time (believe it or not: the last one was "Quake Arena"), he sounds that enthusiastic, that I downloaded GLADIABOTS to my PC the next day... No single day without bot programming since then! Great work!

Unexpectedly play store recommended it (normally the recommendations are a bit poor ven if they are from google, try to see similar apps to the HP prime app, a nice math package, they do not include mathstudio or paridrod).

Installed, put in the list of todos and not touched for months.

At work a colleague mention it around October 2016, I checked it and I was amazed. So much more potential than spacechem (and spacechem is amazing)! At the end I involved 4 colleagues at work and we got nice matches in alpha 4.x , then alpha 5.2 came, they played around mid November but then they dropped it. I stayed to annoy GFX and the current top players.

I'm not sure​ how I found it,I think it was Google play store. Found it nice in the campaign mode and got hooked in the multiplayer. Never played a game that long. In November I bought the walking dead season 2 for Android ($15) and since November I found no time to start. Gladiabots became the only game I play (can't play to much, family, job and moving house takes some time).
